MOBILE, Alabama – Ladd-Peebles Stadium had more flashing lights than usual for Friday night's Williamson-LeFlore high school football game.

At least 14 Mobile police cars and one sheriff's car were at the stadium an hour before the game began. At least one officer was at each entrance and several were on constant foot patrol around the facility.

Mobile County Public Schools also appeared to have resource officers on hand.

"I was kind of worried," Caldwell said of coming out to the stadium the day after the shooting. The two girls echoed her statement. "It's scary," they said.

Longtime Mobile resident Georgia Dale says people just need to put the incident in perspective.

"I think kids are just going to be kids when they want to get in trouble they are going to do it no matter where they are," Dale said. "I think Ladd-Peebles is safe or I wouldn't have brought my grandchildren."

Ticket counters could not say if the possibility of rain or the after-shocks of last night's violence reduced ticket sales.

A normal high school football game has 2-4 police officers but Ladd typically has more than a dozen.
